An atheist was walking through the forest admiring all the "accidents" that evolution had created. "What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals" he said to himself. As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. Turning to look, he saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him.
He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw the grizzly was closing. Somehow, he ran even faster, and was so scared that tears came to his eyes. He looked again and the bear was even closer. His heart was pounding and when he tried to run faster, he tripped and fell to the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but the bear was right over him, reaching for him with its left paw.
"God help me!". Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. Even the river stopped moving. As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky,"
YOU DENY MY EXISTENCE FOR ALL THESE YEARS, TEACH OTHERS THAT I DON'T EXIST AND EVEN CREDIT CREATION TO A COSMIC ACCIDENT! DO YOU EXPECT ME TO HELP YOU OUT OF THIS PREDICAMENT? AM I TO COUNT YOU AS A BELIEVER?"The atheist looked directly into the light, "It would be hypocritical to ask to be a Christian after all these years, but perhaps you could make the bear a Christian?"
